Hello,
I need some advice please. I am sitting here literally sobbing.I ended up having an assisted birth with a ventouse and a mediolateral episiotomy
I am 12 weeks post partum , and my episiotomy has still not healed. It is much better than it was a few weeks ago as in pain wise, but still stings when I wee. I have been so horrified by it all that still havent had the courage to have a proper look.
At 1 week PP I started to really sting , doctor said my stitches had come undone in parts which is why the prolonged healing phase.
Has anyone had this , how long did it take to heal? I had swabs that were all negative for infections/thrush ect.
They said that the skin part has to heal from the inner part outwards.
I dont know if I should just wait and see if it keeps healing. Saw my doctor 4 weeks ago and she said it looked like it was healing.
I am so scared and this is just making me so depressed.
What should I do next?
